Ferrari & Arrighetti Crucifix with Christ of The Alps in Natural Basswood, Cross: 78 cm / 31 in, Jesus: 35 cm / 13 ¾ in – Demetz Deur

Wooden crucifix depicting the Christ of the Alps. The body of Jesus-made of basswood-is portrayed on a pastoral cross with a very rough surface and the typical curved horizontal cross arm. As regards the finish of the Christ of the Alps, the wood is not treated, so that the viewer can admire the simple, yet evocative beauty of the natural wood pattern. The body of Jesus (about 35 cm / 13 ¾ in tall) is truly detailed, and the face used to be created to express the suffering felt by the Saviour. The cross (about 41 cm / 16 in wide x 78 cm / 31 in tall) is without doubt one of the most important symbols of Christianity. It is a sign of peace and redemption, in addition to the link between the earthly being of the Saviour and humanity. This Christ of the Alps crucifix is wisely designed, carved, and finished by hand by skilled artisans at Deur, a well-known family-run sculpture workshop founded in 1966 and specialising in the creation of artistic wooden handicrafts, embellished with a variety of quality finishes. In the splendid Val Gardena – an Italian area devoted to masterful woodcarving – creativity, passion, and attention to detail blend together to create this wall cross and other fancy wooden sculptures portraying a plethora of subjects, to be had in different sizes and finishes. As a result of craft production, the stated dimensions are merely indicative and won’t exactly correspond to the exact ones.
